<style type="text/css">
body {cursor: url(http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-extern.php?id=159230);}
</style>

The url might not be valid, because it didn't work for me either (but it worked using other urls).

Also, for some reason it didn't work until i added "auto" after the url, so i think the code should look like this:
<style type="text/css">
body {cursor: url(a totally valid url), auto;}
</style>

I'm seeing a couple of problems with what you're trying to do:

- The url is not pointing to a file, but to a website that makes you download that file (it doesn't work, you can't hotlink it)

- The browser (at least mine) doesn't support the .ani format (and I didn't find a way to convert it into a gif, weirdly enough)

Seems like that gif is going to give you a bunch of issues. Maybe looking for another one or finding it in a different page could work!
